Today is the day that Mexico won the revolution and ousted the British Empire !!!

Areva !!!

Oh man are you being a total jerk here. I can't tell whether or not you are being serious. I mean the whole british thing is gunk, but many people do honestly believe that cinco de mayo celebrates the day of mexican independence. These are both wrong.

Its also spelt ariba!

You couldn't be more wrong. This is the day Mexico won the revolution and ousted the Canadians eh!!!!

Time to drink some tequila and fire off a revolver. AYAYAYAYA!

Canucks are mid placed Brits !

Un Duh Leigh !!! In Duh Leigh !!

I thought it was the day that Jimmy Buffet released Margaritaville.

Well technically yes, but the Mexicans defeated a combined army of Canadians, Rostafarians, and Hawaiians(the dreaded Maple Weed Mahi Mahi Alliance of 1238) at the battle of Little Worm in 1428, more than a week before.

Don't say just canadians, it was mainly the ones from alberta.

red bud for everyone !!!

Indeed, and that was their downfall.

Had they not been drawn into a Mexican trap near the sleepy village of Mississauga, then the Canadians would have not been caught flat footed after their maple syrup induced nap (later commemorated as “the Sweetest Siesta”) and would have been able to arrive in time to aid the encircled Rastafarians. I swear George Lopez is the most underestimated general in modern times, being able to maneuver like that.

What about lieutenent Carlos Mencia. He stole a lot of General Lopez's tactics and used them as well.

This is true. Down in Texas, we all know the epic tale of Lieutenant Mencia, nicknamed "el Matador," and how he managed to annihilate Pancho Villa and drive the Hawaiians into the sea like so many islanders. Indeed, it was his demonstrations in 1983 that kept the Swiss out of the Californian/Italian/Thai Alliance.

Texas is shrinking as the border slowly drifts further norf.

I hear Mexico kind of sucks right now. Maybe they shouldn't have gotten everyone all mad at them by shooting everyone up and just had some people with some know how in their country. Nice going Mexico, I'll send you a post card thanking you for the swine flu, if I survive.

May you all end the day face-down in a puddle of pre-owned margarita.

I am hlaf Mexican. If you talk shitt aboud my peopel I will make you pay. My boss gave me half the day off.
